Sky News host Cory Bernardi says the "list of opportunities" that governments have seized "to keep you broke" goes on and on after the Australian Taxpayers' Alliance crunched the numbers on how much Australians lose in tax every year. "As the report points out, calculating income tax is as easy as visiting the ATO website.
"A Victorian worker earning the 2019 average income of $63,440 costs their employer an additional $10,000 or so in superannuation, payroll tax, and other benefits. "If you build that into the bundle, the total government grab of the $73,000 is more than $40,000 - that's a whopping 55 per cent tax rate. "You only need to work until the end of July before you stop paying the government. "The average smoker coughs up another $5200.
corybernardi A few people *create* the money. Most people don't understand how finance works, but we all work for their dollar. Then they *tax* what we earn, based on *rules* they create. Then we vote to be governed ... ... by them. Are we smart?
corybernardi Taxpayers paid this fwit for years. Talk about pissing it away.

Federal government 'following the advice of health agencies' with India travel ban | Sky News AustraliaLiberal Senator Andrew Bragg says the government is “following the advice of health agencies” with regard to the temporary India travel ban and the harsh penalties for breaking the ban.\n\n“We are following the advice of the health agencies here and putting in place the strongest possible deterrents and these are very strong deterrents,” he told Sky News. \n\n“It’s regrettable they are necessary but we are trying to do our best to address the situation of the transmission that’s been occurring in places like Howard Springs.”\n\nMr Bragg said there was “very strong community feeling” in Indian and Australian communities but data from the Northern Territory quarantine facility showed COVID-19 cases dropping. \n\n“I think the data that is out of again Howard Springs is already that has had the effect that’s been desired and now there’s a lower level of cases in that facility.”\n ajamesbragg Morrison needs to come out and state that all Aussies travelling overseas cannot be guaranteed of return and may die abroad with no government assistance. Otherwise he's a first degree xenophobe. ajamesbragg Well that may or may not be true, but if the federal govt. had set up better Quarantine we could bring Australians home. ajamesbragg Stick with it ScottMorrisonMP as Labor still looking to bring down our borders when we need it the most.
